Why Early Access?

“To receive & add player feedback in the game.

I'm a solo dev - and a flawed human being - so I might be missing obvious fun game mechanics to add.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6-12 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add more content during the Early Access phase through several updates. I'd like to add several features such as characters + animals layer, Steam Cloud saving, controller support, Mac + Linux + SteamDeck support. I hope to include features depending on your feedback.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can create infinite maps with 4 layers:

• Ground: 18 biomes, with a hierarchy and automatic transitions between tiles.
  
• Terrain-like items: 8 types, such as bareers & rails, with automatic adjustments for neighbor cells.
  
• Building: 33 types, such as houses, trees, & rocks.
  
• Items: 25 items such as panels, camp fire, apples, mailbox, ...

• Take screenshots inside the game. Images are saved on your computer, outside the game.
  
• Each save slot comes with a mini screenshot & you can give a custom name to your world.

”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Retro Meadow's price may increase at official release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“You can give me feedback via email or Bluesky. Links are included in the demo & early access.

I would love to hear your thoughts about my game.”
